I have seen recently some of the master images made by Andre Kertesz at the Paul Getty Museum. The quality and presentation of the images in this book are as close as you can view the original prints. The text in the book effectively illuminates and enhance each image. I strongly recommend this book.

Upon opening the book and gazing at the many extraordinary images contained within the pages, it is simply stunning. The book is one of the most expensive I own and well worth the price.

Each time I look at the images that Andre Kertesz captured (as seen in this book) I simply have a difficult time understanding how so long ago, Mr. Kertesz had the instinct to see and capture the visions he saw. I'm not aware of any specific training people may have had in photography nearly 100 years ago, and I suspect there was no training, classes available, but Kertesz obviously was gifted and very talented, if not formerly educated in this field.

The quality of the book is grand. The pages are thick and luxurious and the reproduction quality of Kertesz's images is wonderful. The editors are to be commended on this superb publication.

This is a superb collection and a true tribute to this incredible photographer.
